Your questions, our answers

What is WordPress?

WordPress ® is a blog- and web-publishing platform that's not only easy to use, but recognized the world over as a standard in website creation. With its focus on aesthetics, web standards and usability, WordPress is an open-source platform that lets you manage everything from a small personal blog to a large commercial site with hundreds of pages. Hundreds of thousands of sites trust their online presence to WordPress - and with Managed WordPress Hosting from GoDaddy, you can too.

How do I learn to use WordPress?

If you're new to WordPress, it may take you some time to figure out all the available features. That's why we included 20+ videos that cover all the basics. Plus, as the most popular website building tool in the world, the WordPress community offers tons of free support at https://wordpress.org/support/

If I have a WordPress site hosted somewhere else, can I move it to GoDaddy?

Yes, it’s super easy to move your existing WordPress site on to our WordPress optimized hosting platform that includes extra security and managed services. Just pick the plan that’s right for you, and during the set up process, choose “migrate my site.” It’s just that easy. (Our auto migration tool does not work with WordPress.com sites.)

How does your version of WordPress differ from other installations?

We have several unique or exclusive features, but the biggest ones are our Quick Start wizard, which asks you about your site and then automatically installs the features you want or need, and our visual page editor, which simplifies WordPress' editor into simple drag and drop tools. We also have exclusive pre-made websites, a hosting platform that was designed for WordPress, an online library of over 20 WordPress instructional videos and more.
